******************************************************************
Everyone in the room held a mask of confusion as Vegeta continued.
"Tomeratto's legacy has been a major part of Saiya-jin history for
obvious reasons. He was one of the most loyal soldiers, not to
mention strongest, that has ever been. Ironically, he was convicted
of treason and exiled to an isolated planet. It was rumored that the
separation from his mistress drove him insane and his power consumed
him. In a blind rage he blew up the planet and himself."
An eerie silence enveloped all that were present as the story sunk
in. Usagi's eyes brimmed with tears. 'Baka! I knew it was impossible
for my father to be alive.' A tear managed to fall from her eye as she
hastily brushed it away. 'So why does it hurt so much?' Usagi thought
bitterly. Trunks put his hand on Usagi shoulder understandingly. Usagi
looked up and saw the same hurt she was feeling now in his eyes. Without
hesitation, she turned to him and buried her head in his chest. Trunks
was a little surprised at first but soon put his arms around her
protectively. "It's ok Usa. Cry if you need to." Trunks whispered into
her ear. Vegeta scowled at the sentiment and ChiChi whispered something
in Bulma's ear. The two women smiled at the scene before them... it seemed
so perfect!
"What I don't understand is how is it you're still alive and come
from the future no less?" Vegeta growled. Usagi turned around and Trunks
reluctantly released her from their embrace. "I already told you." Usagi
said softly. Usagi sighed. Apparently they had forgotten because they
all stared at her blankly. "I was born a thousand years ago on the Moon,
killed when I was 14, reborn in the future on Earth, and then taken to
a parallel dimension when I was 13, sound familiar?"
Goku tried to make sense of Usagi was trying to say. He was beyond
confused.... and he wasn't the only one! "How?" Goku asked. Usagi motioned
for everyone to sit down. Once they were seated she began her story.
"When I lived on the Moon, a thousand years ago, everything was so peaceful.
It was paradise. Then one day I was told of a legend that I was destined
to fulfill. I was to marry a prince born on Earth. He would be my soul mate
and our love would be incredibly strong. My mother and the Queen of Earth
arranged the marriage. I was going to marry the Prince of Earth, Endymion.
They held a ball on the Moon to celebrate our engagement. Everything was
going fine until an unknown enemy attacked. It demanded rule of the Silver
Millennium and my mother's silver crystal. When it was refused, it attacked
my kingdom. Since we weren't prepared, we didn't stand a chance against them.
They called themselves the Dark Kingdom. Their minions killed my
guardians and myself. Overwhelmed with grief, my mother used the Silver
Crystal and sealed the Dark Kingdom away. She would have sealed them
permanently, but she needed the energy to be able to send my court and
I to the future to be reborn. We were supposed to reborn in a parallel
dimension, but somehow I wasn't sent to this alternate dimension. I was
sent to the future of this one. When I was 13, my guardian Pluto took
me to the dimension where my court was reborn and erased my memory of
Trunks' time. In the four years I was there, I was reunited with my court
and became a Sailor Senshi. I also was in constant battle with numerous
enemies. I eventually found Endymion, but I realized the legend must have
been wrong because he never loved me. He was only using me to become King.
My court was divided in half. One half refused in acknowledge the other
as Sailor Senshi or my guardians.
I too was divided. My court were my best friends: Ami, Minako, Rei,
Makoto, Hotaru, Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna. I didn't know what to do so
I became isolated. I kept having dreams of a childhood I could not remember.
When I confronted Setsuna about it, she revealed that I wasn't born in that
timeline. She let me return to this world... so here I am." Usagi concluded.
Everyone again looked at Usagi. They knew her tale wouldn't ordinary... but
this was sad. Even Vegeta held some sympathy for her, although he would never
admit it. Again silence overcame the group. Gohan got up and hugged Usagi.
"Don't worry Usagi-chan. You're here now. We won't let you be lonely." Gohan
assured. Usagi couldn't help but smile at the 11 year old hybrid. "Thank you
Gohan."
"He's right you know. You can stay here with us." Bulma offered.
"Thank you" Usagi smiled. ChiChi yawned and looked at the clock. "Kami-sama!
It's 12:27. If any of you even dream of fighting Cell tomorrow, you'd
better get to bed." All the Z Senshis' gaze hardened at the mention of Cell.
"Why don't you guys stay here tonight since there is plenty of room?" Bulma
offered. Everyone except the Son family declined the offer. Those who
weren't staying said their goodbyes and left. "I don't know about you, but
I'm tired. I'll see you in the morning." Bulma said over her shoulder as
she went up the stairs. Vegeta, Goku, and ChiChi followed Bulma. ChiChi
turned around when she noticed Gohan wasn't behind her. "Aren't you coming?"
She asked. "I'll be up in a few minutes" Gohan replied. ChiChi smiled and
continued on her way to bed.
All that was left in the room was Gohan, Trunks, and Usagi. "So...
what's Cell?" Usagi asked in confusion. "Cell is a monster." Gohan said
simply. "Cell is an incredibly strong bio-android that is ten times stronger
then any of us put together. Tomorrow we fight him." Trunks said darkly. "Well,
I always had perfect timing." Usagi said dryly. The mention of Cell made both
Trunks and Gohan uncomfortable so Usagi decided to change the subject.
"It's really weird seeing everyone alive..." Usagi commented. "Yeah."
Trunks replied. Usagi turned to see Gohan sitting next to her. "Aside
from you, your mother, and Bulma, everyone else is dead in the future."
Usagi said while messing up Gohan hair. "I don't know what I would do if
I lost you." Usagi smiled. Gohan looked up, confused. "Trunks, I thought
you said I died in the future." Usagi whipped her head around to look at
Trunks. Her eyes began to fill with tears as Trunks nodded. "You're kidding
... right?" Usagi pleaded. "Three months after you disappeared, Gohan was
killed." Trunks said sadly. Her eyes widened as tears streamed down her
face at an increasing rate. "Kami-sama..." Usagi cursed as she brought her
hands up to cover her face. Sobs began to wrack her body. Gohan felt
incredibly guilty. "Gomen, I thought you knew!" Gohan apologized. Trunks'
heart began to break as he saw Usagi grieve over the loss of one of their
closest friends. It was true Mirai Gohan and Trunks were close, but Usagi
and Mirai Gohan were just as or even closer.
"If I was... if I was there... G-Gohan would be... alive." Usagi said
through her tears. "There is no way that Gohan's death can even be partly
your fault." Trunks said sternly. Usagi looked straight at Trunks. Her
eyes were filled with so much pain... so much hurt, it was almost indescribable.
"I've lost so many people I care about... why? Why?" Usagi asked. Trunks
was astounded. Usagi had always been so cheerful he thought nothing could
ever break her spirit. "He wouldn't want you to be sad." Gohan said quietly.
Usagi looked back up at Gohan and smiled despondently. "You're right." "I'm
really sorry, I never meant to cause you any pain." Gohan said as he looked
at the floor. Usagi hugged Gohan. "Don't be sorry. I'll be fine." Usagi reassured.
"It's getting late. Why don't you go to bed?" Usagi asked. Gohan nodded and
made his way out of the room. "Don't be sad anymore, Usagi-chan." Gohan said as
he poked his head back into the room. Once Gohan was gone, Trunks hugged Usagi.
"I won't tell him if you want to cry some more." Trunks offered. Usagi agreed as
the tears she had been holding back for Gohan's sake fell.
On the couch Usagi rested her head against Trunks' chest as she cried
herself to sleep. Trunks didn't want to wake her so he stayed with her. Soon
he felt himself drift into sleep. 'Sweet dreams Usa..' Trunks thought before
he fell asleep.
In the middle of the night Bulma went downstairs to check on Trunks.
When she found out that he wasn't in his room, she went to the living room.
She smiled to herself as she took a nearby blanket and covered the sleeping
couple. As she was leaving the room she remembered something Usagi said.
'A prince born on Earth... I wonder.' Bulma thought as the smile on her face
grew. She turned back to the couple on the couch. 'Of course!' She thought.
'It makes perfect sense.' Bulma returned to bed with a 100 watt smile.
Meanwhile, at the setting of the Cell games....
Cell continued his silent vigil. 'Tomorrow I will truly test my
perfect power.' He thought. "But are you truly perfect?" A voice asked.
Cell opened his eyes and saw no one there. "To whomever is out there, yes,
I am perfect. I need nothing else." Cell responded coldly. "As you wish...
but if you ever reconsider, I will be there." The voice said. "Who are you?"
Cell asked. "I am not a who... rather I can be considered as a what." It said
evilly. "Fine then. What are you?" Cell asked slightly amused.
"You will find out in time."
To be continued....
